THE NEW OBSERVATORY.
Secretary Whitney Appoints AN Archi-
tect to Prepare the Plans.

The Secretary Of the Navy has directed that
active steps be taken towards building the new
naval observatory, and has appointed Richard NJ.
Hunt, ofNew York, architect. The appropriations
for the observatory amount to s4oO, ,oOO but no
work can be commenced until acontract is sentered
into for the entire work, which is not to exceed
that amount. Several years ago plans for the
building were submitted by an architect named
Dldden, out were never finally adopted. although
the architect was paid for his services These
plans Will not be adopted now as there have been
numerous important changes In the architecture
OF sucn DulldlngS within the past few years, and
these plans call for cost Of $50 900 in
excess OF the appropriations They would have to
De remodeled but 1t Is probable that Mr.. Hunt will
prepare entirely new ones. In any event IL will
be some time before operations can be commenced
on the building on account OF the restrictions re-
garding the expenditure of the money, but naval
omcerS generally are highly pleased that the
Secretary OF the Navy has taken the matter up
and directed the prosecution Of the work.

The Tragedy at Hastings. Neb.
VOTING HART ALLOWED To GO FREE-MRs. RANDALL
DANGER OF LYNCHING.

CHICAGO, March GA Times special from
Omaha. Neb., says: Particulars about the killing
OF Dr. Randall In court, at Hastings saturday,
show that his murderer, young Hart, with smoking
pistol i'm hand. cody walked out OF the courtroom,
no one attempting, not even the sheriff, whom he
passed on the stairway, to arrest him. AT the time
young Hart was unknown 10 the crowd. Mrs. Ram
dali, who, evidence showed, had assisted her hus-
band TO ruin Ella Hart, was for a time In jeopardy
OF her life. Threats OF Enching were freely made
Immediately after the shooting and the probability
is that IL her husband had not been shot both
would have been mobbed and very likely lynched.
She was taken TO her boarding house, and fully
five hundred men followed with the determination
OF committing violence. strong guard, however,
protected the woman who put on a suit OF her
husbands clothes and with an escort made her es-
cape. She was taken 10 Grand Island In car
riage with guard OF twenty-five men. Hastings
people threaten TO mob her when she Is brought
back for trial. No effort VIII be made TO prosecute
young Hart for killing DIR. Randall Mr. Hart,
father OF the girl, was I'm the courtroom when the
shooting was done and Immediately after Randall
fell TO the floor he rushed up and kicked the corps
and satifed himself that the man was dead.

How He is Said to Have Lost S7,4OO
Of Public Funds.

A press telegram from Wyoming Territory gives
some particulars OF the robbery of Paymaster D.
n Bash Of $7,4OO. 1t says: Major Bash was en-
route to Fort Mckinney to pay OF the troops
there, and stopped at Antelope Springs to
eat his dinner, leaving his valise contain
ing the money in the coach, which stood a few
steps from the building and in plain view OF
the major and his escort AS they sat at the table,
morning, ran to the vehicle, seized the valise
paymaSterS party Sprang for their guns and ran
out firing several shots at the flying thief without
effect. Mounting the stage horses they pursued
the fugitive, but couldn't catch him. The thief is
said to be cowboy named Charles Parker.
OFFICIAL INFORMATION.
The War department has been officially notified
of the robbery Of Paymaster Bash OF $7,4OO near
Fort Laramie, but no particulars have been re-
ceived. The attention OF the Department OF JUS
tce has been called to the NATTER and 1t is prOba-
BILE that reward will be offered for the capture Of
the rObber or robbers.
WHAT PAYAASTER GENERAL ROCHESTER, THINKS.
In the absence OF particulars, Paymaster General
Rochester is inclined to believe that the express
was robbed and not the paymaster himself A re.
port from Paymaster Bash, dated March IL, at
Cheyenne, shows that he had deposited $4,000
with the QuartermaSter'S department for tranSpOr-
tation to Fort Laramie and Fort Mckinney. He
made payments at Fort Laramie amounting to
5000, and there is no reason to suppose that he
took personal charge OF the remaining 81, 400 In
